ABOUT ME

Home Brewing Biography:Currently have 3 Primary's that I rotate out. No secondary's (don't do fruit beers for the most part). Got into brewing 2 years ago because my wife bought me a MR. BEER kit. After the first two batches (that she bought with the kit) I was hooked, and out at my LHBS that weekend picking up real equipment. Currently a PM brewer. Only reason I am not to the AG step is I have no room for the equipment.

Gender:Male

Status:Married

Posted in thread: Howdy from homebrew hell on 06-08-2011 at 07:31 PMThe bucket will do fine. Whether you use buckets or carboys is all personal preference. I like
carboys, having said that. It's good to see you're active in the brewing, there is nothing
worse than run...

Posted in thread: Lemon... Lots of Lemon!! on 09-08-2010 at 08:40 PMCitrus is one of those notes that can go south really fast (as in too much). I have used way
too much lemon in one of my batches, and it took a good couple of months to mellow out, and
even then, it w...

Posted in thread: Sorachi Ace / cat piss on 09-07-2010 at 04:41 PMI would have to agree that it is entirely perception, or at least the majority of it is. I
happen to love Simcoe. I use it in a lot of my beers (Amarillo, Nugget and Simcoe are always in
my supply). I...
